RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Traffic Resolution No. 2016/4440 to prohibit parking or stopping at all times for any vehicles, except for those vehicles of individuals with disabilities (blue curb) on a portion of Market Avenue (Road No. 0565L), North Richmond area.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact.

BACKGROUND:

Staff from The New Bethel Church of God in Christ, 101 Market Avenue in North Richmond, requested that a disabled parking space be established in front of their church, as they have several disabled parishioners. County traffic engineering staff conducted a field visit and noted that there are no residences or businesses nearby that would be affected by restricting a parking space for only persons with disabilities. Therefore, Traffic Engineering staff recommend the disabled persons parking space be established on Market Avenue with appropriate signage and pavement markings.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The proposed disabled persons parking space shall remain unrestricted, and law enforcement shall be unable to enforce the proposed restriction.
